White Rose Blooming (17 Weeks)

Every Tuesday while you're in the hospital, we'll take a picture with your pug so that everyone can see how much you are growing!

You are now 16 inches long, and you weigh 4lbs 7oz!

Your seventeenth week was another good week! You've finally made it all the way to 2000 grams, which means you are big enough to come home! All you need to do is learn how to eat everything from your bottle.

Your mommy is getting much stronger and is able to spend more and more time with you every day. You continue to eat more from the bottle every day as well, and we can see how much you are changing and growing.

In the next week, we're praying that all of your final checks and tests show that you have developed just like you're supposed to, and that you will continue to learn how to eat more and more from your bottle!

Trish, congrats on how well you are doing. My prayers are still with each one of you adn for those out there who are still waiting for their "miracle" to happen. Thanks to you and Nate for giving me more info concerning Organ Donors and CF. God Bless

Gwyneth's pug IS shrinking, which can only mean that she is growing!!! What a blessing to watch. Pig Out little girl and empty those bottles so you can be cleared to go home with mommy and daddy. Praising God that you are doing so good Tricia. Your pictures are amazing, always that beautiful smile of yours shining through. God is so good.

It looks like we're using the toy pug again! She is getting so big! What a wonderful gift for mothers day. A healthy baby who might be coming home in the upcoming week. yay! Congratulations and thanks for the update Nate.

I am touch and continue to be amazed by your amazing story! I am a NICU nurse at the Nebraska Medical Center and find that when parents and patients post their stories, it's a great way into relating to their point of view and how they view their treatment/babe's development. You are so lucky to have such a wonderful team of nurses and doctors to help your girls grow big and strong and keep them healthy. I look forward to the day that you post that Tricia and yourself are taking that beautiful amazing girl home with you (with no O2, no feeding tubes, no lines!!!). I'm sure one of the happiness moments of your life! Your family is in my thoughts and hopefully Gwyneth will be discharged very soon!!

I can't believe how much she seems to change (I just see her through your pictures) every week. It really is amazing. She is actually getting a chubby little look about her!!! Who would have thought that the skinny little girl from a few weeks ago would have a double chin so soon! God is so good & that is evidenced to all of us in blogland through your story! I pray for continued GREAT news!!!!Emily

She looks so big, yet I know she is so little still! I was hold our little 8 lb. Eliseo this morning trying to imagine that Gwyneth is still like half his size. I think those adorably kissable cheeks are deceptive :)love and prayers every day,The Lockwoods
